Rare project developers

hi,
well, so i don't have a tofino2 at hand so all i can tell you is that
the "no dead code elimination" was tested on the modem... according
to your finding, that is you had a model-only workaround, i'm afraid
to say a thing but worth a try... in the model, all the tests passed
after adding this hack to my tofino2 vm...
br,
cs
